Last year Netflix rolled out a new David Letterman show called, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction. It was a one-on-one interview show with guests ranging from Barack Obama to Tina Fey to Howard Stern. It was okay, but whenever David Letterman does a new show or switches networks it makes me think of his original morning show, which I always felt was his best and most original work. The sad thing is a lot of people don’t even know it existed. I used to call in sick to work just to watch it back in those days!

If you’re not aware of his original TV show, which was simply called, The David Letterman Show, there are six links below to articles and videos featuring a pre-late night David Letterman. And of course then there’s the weekly MBIP Coming Attractions!

"That Joke Has Everything": David Letterman, Before Late Night - Here’s an interesting article which features Letterman kind of frozen in time. NBC had cancelled his morning show but was paying him a million dollars to do nothing while they figured out a new show for him. In that time he hung out in Los Angeles doing stand-up comedy at clubs.

Last night I went to one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, Hacienda El Mirador and not only had a tasty meal, but discovered a tequila there that’s made by a Peorian who I used to work with at Fleming Potter! That will be up tomorrow.

Wednesday we’ll take a tour of The Nest in downtown Peoria which is a coworking space in downtown Peoria for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and remote professionals.

Thursday there’s another one of my patent-pending MBIP Announcements!

Could this be the end of MBIP? Is it a format change? Is this something about The Marty Monologues? Maybe I’m finally going to clean my bathtub thoroughly! Well, tune in Thursday to find out and have a wonderful and funderful Sunday!
